Share this story

On a quiet Saturday morning, Amanda Skorjanc heard a rumble, looked out her window and watched her Oso neighborhood explode. Her split second reaction also also saved her son from the massive mudslide. Both Amanda and Duke sustained serious injuries, but they are recovering.

Now that she is doing better, Amanda wanted to tell her story and thank those who helped rescue her and her son. Elisa Jaffe and I put this story together, but I wanted to share her full interview with you.
